March brings a lot of excitement to the universes of science fiction and fantasy. At the movies, there's The Hunger Games and John Carter. On television, almost all of your favorite shows are returning. And there are new books by Naomi Novik, C.J. Cherryh, Tim Pratt, Raymond E. Feist and Elizabeth Bear. Plus tons of conventions and author appearances.

Strap yourself in for the rides of March!
